MindNode folder showing up twice in iCloud Drive in PF, but empty

Hi,

I'm experiencing a strange issue with one particular folder in iCloud Drive. I use the MindNode 5 app and have iCloud Drive enabled for it in iCloud preferences. I can copy MindNode files into that folder on the Mac using Finder and they sync without issues, i.e. they show up on iOS and changes are synced back and forth.

But in Path Finder (7.6.2), when I click iCloud Drive in the sidebar, the MindNode folder shows up twice and both folders are empty. Both of these "ghost" folders point to the same original location: ~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~ideasoncanvas~MindNode/Documents.

On further inspection I discovered that the folder location of the "ghost" folders is actually different from the actual MindNode folder iCloud Drive is using. In PF the aforementioned folders are shown and the original folder is in fact empty. The actual storage location of MindNode in iCloud drive isn't the folder above but rather ~/Library/Mobile Documents/W6L39UYL6Z~com~mindnode~MindNode/Documents and all the files correctly show up there.

PathFinder 7 supports everything starting with macOS 10.7 Lion.
Some of the used APIs are outdated by now and a re-write from a scratch was necessary.
We are currently beta-testing PathFinder 8 which is way more stable in many ways.

May I suggest testing this with PathFinder 8 when it's out?
We will surely report this to our developers if the issue still persists.
